If you're hungry, try the "recession special"! This $5 deal consists of a fried baloney sandwich, chips, and a PBR; for a $1 more a moon pieUpvoted Apr 2
Roshel AghassiJune 23, 2017Definition of Honkie Tonk! Once you get passed the crowd, the music is good and the crowd is a good mix!

Hudson SutlerJuly 19, 2017They've got country, folk, bluegrass, rockabilly, and every weekend their own brew, Brazilbilly, which you won’t see anywhere else. It’s magic when served with the house signature fried bologna. Read more
Come on Tuesday for Harry Fontana & the Tennessee Tone Boys! They're a great rockabilly band that'll bring you back to the 1950s! They're very danceable. Food is good and cheap, but also slow.
Sarah PriskMay 27, 2014Food is decent and cheap, atmosphere is amazing, and John England and the Western Swingers are awesome. The wait staff is super nice and one of the waitresses looks like Krysten Ritter.
Russell HolleySeptember 11, 2014Great vibe, great music - what more can you ask for! 5 bucks will get you a (tasty) hot dog, MHL and bag of chips. Love it!
Theresa RoldanApril 3, 2016Great music and great food. They people were also really awesome. I think everything was pretty cheap as well - but I'm from NYC so that might not be saying much
Alexander FrostApril 6, 2013This is an interesting place. It has a very original vibe, so to speak. I recommend it because it transcends it's status as a honky-tonk, which it certainly is. It's just a cool place to be.
Erik RowleyMarch 9, 2015The best place for live music on Broadway. See the Don Kelley band, their guitar player Dan is incredible!
GilAugust 11, 2014Burgers are so good here. Music is good too. Was recommended this place by a waiter in Flemings who said locals all go to Roberts so THANK YOU 👍👍
Barb JonesApril 11, 2014Packed to the rafters but totally enjoyed it. First time in Nashville and first place we went. Music was great, so was the food. Don't know how the waitstaff does it but they do.
Your Savvy AtlantanNovember 16, 2013I visited this tonite and I would have to agree! Best juke joint in Nashville with old school flair and top quality bands with no cover! #Nashville
Damian BayonaMay 21, 2018Come in for the A/C, stay for the jams. Live music all day long playing classic honky tonk covers. Expect a crowd.
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014To really play up the Southern experience, order the “recession special:” a fried bologna sandwich, bag of chips, MoonPie and an ice-cold PBR beer. Read more
Sarah MilnerDecember 29, 2012Such a Awesome place!! . We stayed here all night because the music is so good and people are fun here!! And Gail the bartender is the best :)
Megan VictorJuly 2, 2012Amazing atmosphere. One of the best damn burgers I have had in a king time too. Great beer selection. Great music. I definitely can see why it is a Nashville tradition!
Stephen BarresiMarch 31, 2014Go to the back and try to get a table on the balcony bar where you'll have a great view of everything while enjoying the live music.
Kellie GoddardMarch 3, 2013Some of the best burgers I've had in a while. Love the live music and our waitress was a doll! Food takes a while to get to you but it's worth it.
Kirsten HancockMay 29, 2013Make it a don't miss stop to hear great live music any time of day. Love this place. Fun to come in the afternoon when only a few ppl are here.
MarthaMarch 31, 2015LOVE this place. excellent honky music, cheap beers, baloney sandwiches. will visit here every trip to Nashville.
Chris MuñozJanuary 9, 2019For the authentic “Nashville” experience, stop here. Food and drinks and cheaper than the nearby honky tonks!- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014If you visit only one Honky Tonk, this is your spot. Great music – don’t miss the Don Kelly Band on Fridays.
- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014If you need a pick me up, order the $5 Recession Special – a Bologna Sandwich on White Bread, a PBR, and a Moon Pie!
Violet LopezApril 22, 2013B'way Staple - best Hony Tonk on the strip..... If you want to mingle with the locals and listen to great music. This is the spot! <3 <3 <3 Oh- and they have cowboy boot Koozies - $5!!- Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014Young and old flock to Robert’s, a great spot to catch some amazing live country music and do some honkytonk dancing.

The Wall Street JournalAugust 3, 2014If you go honky-tonking, nobody can top Robert's. If you like to shake the legs, that's the place to go. Read more
Stephanie FoisMarch 18, 2012The live music is awesome, the atmosphere is authentic and fun, and the drinks are well priced. Great place to spend an evening out.
Ben KubotaNovember 16, 2015So lets be honest here.. The food isn't great.. It's average, maybe good if you're an optimist. But it's not about that. It's about the experience and the live music, no matter when you go there. :)
Dustin SoperAugust 4, 2018No cover charge, great food, great music, and you can bring the kids until 6 PM.
Michael CochraneFebruary 23, 2017Atmosphere was great! Food wasn't bad. There's no actual kitchen and all the food is directly from the freezer. If it wasn't cooked directly in front of you maybe it'd give it more appeal...
Jason KusnerDecember 26, 2012Really enjoyed the music here. You can get Busch/PBR/HighLife for cheaper than the other beers.
Sarah BirtwisleNovember 27, 2014Great night. Loved the fried pickles and burgers, cold beers and music.
Beer is the same price here an everywhere else on Broadway. Plus PBR and Busch Light are always cheap here. Get a grilled cheese and sweet potato fries!
ᴡ BuschJune 18, 2017You have to line-dance at a honky tonk! And for refreshments, get your lady a PBR and a moon pie.
Kathryn CJanuary 1, 2013Make sure to check out Lois & John Shepherd from 11am-2pm Sundays, Mondays, & Tuesdays! They've been performing on lower Broadway for 40+ years!
Sherry MOctober 15, 2021Ordered the recession special. A fried bologna sandwich with chips, a moon pie, and a PBR. Yup.
Cyn StoltzJuly 21, 2017Great, busy, crowded, understaffed. Got our first round, ordered second with appetizers,never showed up, waited 30 minutes, finally paid for what we had had and left.
Brant McQuittyApril 16, 2016The music is loud and the beer is cold. Depending on your crowd and level of intoxication, this place can be fun.
Put down your phone and listen to some of the best musicians in the world. You might as well throw 5 bucks in their tip jar while you're at it.
MTVOctober 25, 2010MTV News: We hit up Robert’s Western World after our interview with Taylor Swift. You’ll love the live old school country music and the boot-shaped koozies!- Turtle DoveOctober 23, 2013Snagged a hottie in the bathroom. Didnt know her name and didnt pull out. I give this place a thumbs up!
AEG TMGOctober 8, 2010Great place to hang out and watch one of the best players in Nashville playing legendary country tunes. Check it out - you won't regret it.
Wednesday is the best night of the week there. The caliber of musician is high and the weekend crowds haven't arrived yet.
